A medical emergency alone would have been more than enough for anyone to deal with, but after his great grandmother clipped on the ice and couldn't get up, Tyler Wade had a lot to do in a short, critical, and confusing period of time.

Not only did Tyler rush inside to dial 911, he also managed to get his younger brother onto the school bus, and then, mindful that help was on the way, he grabbed a bucket of rock salt and finished the job his great grandmother began.

"I was sanding," he proudly proclaimed. "(I did it) so that nobody fell like my grandma."

Ruth Heath suffered a broken arm, but she also realizes how fortunate she is that's all she suffered.

"Without the boys there, I might have been there a long time because the snow bank blocks the view from the road where I was down," Heath said.

"I was very proud and very sad because grandma had hurt herself," Lora Wade, Tyler's mother said. "I don't know how he's really going to act in those type of situations because he's never been in a situation like that."

It turns out Tyler remembered the 911 lesson from when a police officer visited his school.

He'll also never forget what his great grandmother said to him when he visited her in the hospital, presenting her with a pink rose.
